Hyrule Warriors

In the game, players are tasked with defending and reclaiming massive battlefields from hordes of enemies. To do this, players take control of different characters familiar to fans of The Legend of Zelda series – many of them, like Impa, Fi, Darunia, Zant and Princess Ruto, playable for the very first time.

Hyrule Warriors lets players unleash the full power of iconic characters like Link, Zelda and Ganondorf, as they cut down legions of enemies on massive battlefields in familiar settings from The Legend of Zelda series like Hyrule Field, Death Mountain and Skyloft, as well as new locations created specifically for the game. The frenetic action of the Dynasty Warriors franchise blends beautifully with The Legend of Zelda series to create a unique hybrid that feels as seamless as it does bold.

 

 

In the game, players are tasked with defending and reclaiming massive battlefields from hordes of enemies. To do this, players take control of different characters familiar to fans of The Legend of Zelda series – many of them, like Impa, Fi, Darunia, Zant and Princess Ruto, playable for the very first time. Each of these playable characters is equipped with unique weapon types and ferocious special moves that work with his or her strengths. Zelda wields a razor-sharp Rapier to defeat foes, Sheik uses a magic Harp to vanquish enemies and Link brings his massive Hylian Sword to battle. Mastering all of the characters’ moves and basking in their flashy animations is part of the fun and appeal of the game.

 

 

Throughout Hyrule Warriors, players can collect critical items that will help them defeat tricky enemies, solve puzzles and access new places on the expansive maps. These useful items come in the familiar forms of classic tools from The Legend of Zelda series, and are used in similar ways. For example, when bombs are found, players can use them to blow away blocked passages or even help bring down a giant lizard-like creature that longtime fans will instantly recognize. Other items like the Hookshot, bow and boomerang can also be found in treasure chests, accompanied by that classic sound effect upon discovery.

Link

The Hyrulian army's strongest soldier holds the Triforce of Courage, a variety of weapons, and the speed to take on an army by himself.

 

Impa

Princess Zelda's loyal bodyguard uses an enormous Giant Blade to slash through throngs of foes.

 

Zelda

The courageous and wise leader of Hyrule is also a powerful force on the battlefield with elegant moves and a razor-sharp Rapier.

Lana

With her powerful Book of Sorcery, this white mage has made it her personal responsibility to stop the evil overtaking Hyrule.

 

Sheik

This mysterious warrior uses speed, shuriken, and a weaponized harp to power through enemy armies.

Darunia

Like all Gorons, this warrior king is a heavyweight on the battlefield. His massive hammer will shake the earth and send enemies flying.

Ruto

This Zora princess may be a fish out of water in land battles, but it's her enemies who'll be gasping for breath after her acrobatic attacks.

 

Midna

This impish Twili princess can ride a shadow wolf into battle and swat down enemies with her magical, hand-like locks of hair.

Agitha

She's a little girl who goes into battle with a parasol...and an army of gigantic, mystical insects.

Fi

When you battle as Fi, you don’t really need a weapon—because you are a weapon: the devastating Goddess Sword.

Zant

The accursed usurper of the Twilight Realm is a force to be reckoned with when he rips through enemies with his curved blades.

Ghirahim

A polite manner belies the brutality of this magical swordsman—brutality that you'll appreciate when it helps you win a battle!

 

Ganondorf

The personification of evil becomes the personification of awesomeness when Ganondorf takes the field with a really big sword.
